WOuld have loved to attend, havent signed on in a while so I missed this post..look forward to seeing notes on the venue and wines drank

Wonderful night and wonderful company. We will have to do it again in a month or so.

saturday night was a great time - wine and company.

my WOTN was the Foley (no surprise); and i would say the '97 Dead Arm and the '92 Pine Ridge were tied for second. two very different wines, but both were outstanding. frankly, everything was in the 90-94 range, except for the Foley. that is a classic.

thanks, all. look forward to doing it again.

Just a quick correction, the Dead Arm was a 96. I agree with Newsguy, the Foley was absolutely the WOTN. I was actually very amazed with how good it was this early. It was a great night. I look forward to next time. I have a couple of bottles that should be ready right about now. I think the next one it will be the 94 Flora Springs Trilogy. But again guys. Thanks.

Definitely a nice night for me as well:

Foley also was my WOTN, followed by the KL, Dead Arm and SQN Hollerin M.

We have to do it again.

Definitely

i think you're gonna love that 94 trilogy right now, josh. here's my TN on the 95, tasted during super bowl weekend.

'95 Flora Springs Napa Valley Trilogy: Another meritage blend, this one's nearly equal parts of merlot and cabernet sauvignon, plus some cabernet franc. This absolutely is at the top of its game. The aromatics are phenomenal and the flavors that follow live up to them: perfume (again, that French oak), dark and red fruits, plus red licorice. Despite the fully mature nose and flavors, this still has some acidity and ultra fine tannins to take this another three to five years. Excellent.
